Snow Patrol and Gracie Abrams bring TRNSMT to a close

TRNSMT music festival has come to a close in Glasgow with Snow Patrol topping the bill on the event's final day.

Singer Gary Lightbody referenced the decade the band spent living in Glasgow as the band wrapped up the three day event.

Other acts on the Sunday line up at Glasgow Green included former Little Mix star Jade, indie veterans Shed Seven and American pop star Gracie Abrams.

Abrams told the crowd it was the last show she would play in Europe "in a long time", after a lengthy period touring her 2024 album The Secret of Us.

Celebrity spotters had been keeping their eyes peeled for Hollywood star - and Abrams boyfriend - Paul Mescal appearing on site.

The Gladiator 2 actor's sister, Nell, performed on one of the festival's smaller stages - but her brother was instead seen attending the Wimbledon men's singles final.

Police Scotland said there had been a total of 10 arrests made over the festival's first two days.

After a sweltering Saturday temperatures eased on Sunday, though still very warm during the day, it cooled down in the evening.

Snow Patrol - who formed at Dundee University in the late 1990s - kicked off their headline performance with a string of old hits, such as Take Back The City and Chocolate.

Singer Gary Lightbody said Glasgow was "a massive part of our story" and "always feels like coming home".

They dedicated their hit Chasing Cars to fans who supported them in their early days, at the city's King Tuts and Nice N Sleazy venues.

Abrams had earlier joked that 90% of the crowd was there for Snow Patrol - a claim easily disproved by the massive reaction hits like That's So True received.

Fans had turned out early for day three, as the event got underway again in the afternoon.

Myles Smith donned a kilt and Scotland top for a set highlighted by his massive hit Stargazing, while Jade's appearance on the Main Stage prompted wild screams of approval.

The former Little Mix singer wore a tartan outfit and told fans she wanted them to feel the love, as she played solo material and tracks from her old group.

Nathan Evans and the Saint Phnx band were treated as conquering heroes during their afternoon Main Stage set of foot-stomping shanty pop.

On stage Evans announced that he and his bandmates would be playing Glasgow's OVO Hydro venue in October.

He told BBC Scotland News: "I wasn't nervous about the show itself, but I was a bit apprehensive how announcing the Hydro would go down - but it got a lot bigger reaction than I'd expected.

Bandmate Stevie Jukes added: "Since we met Nathan and started writing songs, everything has gone up and up - it felt like everything has culminated today with doing TRNSMT and announcing the gig."

Singer Nina Nesbitt, who played in the afternoon sun on the King Tut's Stage and dropped in a cover of Caledonia, said she hoped the festival would have a first female headliner next year.

The Edinburgh singer joked to the BBC she was "projecting" the prospect into reality, after years of criticism of the event for a lack of women artists in top slots.

Among other early acts was teenager Pat Hamilton, who played the BBC Introducing stage months after one of his songs went viral on TikTok.

The Glasgow singer told BBC Scotland News he had attended the festival in the past and was thrilled to be now performing there.

He said: "I think it's probably every punter's dream to go from the crowd to the stage, so it's a dream come true to be doing this."

Members of the funk flavoured indie band Dictator told BBC Scotland News they were pleased to be playing the same stage - as it was a festival their family members had actually heard of.

Singer Michael Connolly said: "There's always a worry that you don't know what the crowd is going to be like in the afternoon - it was class to see the crowd was buzzing."

At the other end of the scale were Britpop veterans Shed Seven, who recalled playing TRNSMT's predecessor T In The Park on several occasions.

Singer Rick Witter told the BBC he believes festival crowds are more polite now than in previous years, ahead of the band headlining the King Tut's stage.

He said: "You're less likely to just see hordes of drunken men, which you used to get it. But I quite like that.

He added that he was grateful the group were still going after more than 30 years.

He said: "Not many bands get to still be doing it, so we feel quite privileged.

"There's more and more younger people coming to the gigs now, so we'l keep going till we're in our 80s."

The festival's second day on Saturday featured Biffy Clyro headlining, while singer Amy Macdonald played a surprise set in the small Hangout tent.
